When I was working with the USAF ext electrical shop as a power line technician we free climbed no hich hiking up the pole

You guys still live in the 50's, we got rid of hydro-poles like 50 years ago in my country, all is underground, and no more outages.

as an power line, aviation, and British Army enthusiast, the procedure is so cool that includes insulator placing

En los últimos tiempos han habido muchos accidentes eléctricos en los trabajos en líneas energizadas en los EUA, las tecnologías ayudan mucho en la comodidad del trabajo e incluso en la protección de los operarios, pero en la mayoría de todos los videos que he visto se violan mucho las distancias de seguridad y sobre todo las fases de aislamiento entre las partes energizadas y las de diferente potencial, el uso de las mantas, protecciones de aisladores, protectores de líneas y otros no se tienen en cuenta en la gran mayoría de los casos, se que cada región dependiendo de sus tecnologías se ajustan a los trabajos en líneas energizadas, pero al final, independientemente del país o región, los métodos de trabajo no difieren casi en nada ya que en casi su totalidad son regidos por normas de uso internacional, hay que tener en cuenta que la seguridad nunca es suficiente y que los medios de protección estan diseñados para cuidar a los Lineros de un shock eléctrico, hay que ser más conscientes en el uso de estos medios, pues como decimos en el algor popular de mi país, " es mejor perder un minuto de vida, que no la vida en un minuto" , a quienes le pueda servir de consejo y se haya tomado su tiempo en leer y analizar lo que he escrito, muchas gracias y mis gratos saludos para todos los operarios de redes y sus familias, Dios los bendiga a todos.

Why take cover off to move who is training these men keep the ambulance close

Great video, thank you.

IBEW 1245 here. These guys are absolute cowboys and not in a good way. This could be used as a training video on how not to do it safely.

worked in a lot of manholes , vaults. feel heat off primary circuits in manholes , double blower to get air in manholes ,

Se alguém puder me explicar: por que vocês usam postes de madeira? No Brasil usamos postes de concreto

One surge could KILL.

Interesting

Dont these guys use hot sticks?

Excellent work gentlemen, great information!

they use screw anchors now because it's quicker ....

old bust anchor .....dug a many hole and busted a many anchor ...

Terrific presentation. Good description of the process. Gracias. Thanks, Jim

Flux capacitor!

Have to be very careful with Regulators.....if one step off it can destroy the regulator and hurt you .....

Thank you very much for posting this on KZbin. Very informative.

If the new pole is only in dirt with no concrete, won't it get loose over time when it rains?

No concrete?

Very hard work

Why did they dead end?

What happened to testing the air?

why are the rubber sleeves needed if they can still touch the wire?

how do they not get electrocuted? are they connected to the cables also or they just need the gloves and they wont get shocked??

Cant see s#$:&t

Why did they use a grounding elbow on a standoff lol. Wasn't grounding anything

Do they ever expect you to lift the transformer up the pole by hand?

We have the choice when working our 27.6, our highest distribution voltage to either stick it or glove it, we never wear sleeves. If it’s just a straight insulator change I prefer stick and jib, we are fortunate to use K-line insulators with K clamps. If I have to make taps I will glove it.

Very cool.... always wondered and now I know. Thank you!

To avoid double poly on one side they could have caught phases off on new arm, and undone backside phase from shoe cut old arm out of way at the pole then made up the phase and it’s all uniform saves material as it’s hard to get nowadays and then cut out old pole top as normal

I mean did they get it done yes but I think there should been more cover as a precaution when setting and then moving phase overhead is fine but should have had cover on it and lift it but the cover upside down so it protects not only you but also anything it could come in contact with

Seen it. cover insulation, used grinder to cut

Inside Wireman 101

This is why the company that I worked for got away from cross arms they do all vertical construction.

Grounded rack nice

This is really good. From a safety standpoint, most of these guys should wear hearing protection. Aside from that, great job.

Our company says “Rubber gloves shall not be used in lieu of personal grounds”

TND, love it

i call b.s. we know after ya pulled the old pole the new one was pencil pointed then ya hooked the balance point very butt heavy and sunk that wood like a wedding night. lmao!!! well done on this dude i just fukn with ya lol

As a line-man I can confirm that we are all very very overpaid. Long live the brotherhood!

What kind of wire stripper is that

do you work for A traveling union or contractor?

Hello Please can I working with you are in tower design and assembly construction in any where Thank you are always My name is Ali from Iraq( mech. En).

Hello Nice job. Please can I working with you tower design construction ? Thank you are allways

I am very impressed with this technology...I was lineman /troubleshooter for 44 years...This new stuff is awesome👌...

A bum pissing on the pole would be like a third rail !
